The picture shows Santos and Smith smiling for the camera as they lean their heads together. Santos said the snapshot was taken after the Los Angeles Pride parade.

"We're here! We're queer! We're brunching! Getting some after parade nomnoms with my love. Happy Pride Los Angeles!!! #Pride," he captioned the post.

Smith shared a photo with Santos at the GLAAD Media Awards in April. Santos referenced his boyfriend in a tweet last week, but did not mention Smith by name.

"My boyfriend just referenced Alexander McQueen correctly in a conversation with me...I feel like Anne Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. My work here is done," the actor wrote.

I am doing the Lord’s work.

"Forgiveness does not require friendship. Forgiveness does not require forgetting or excusing his actions. Forgiveness requires hope. Hope that he understand the injury he caused and does not inflict it upon others," the star said.
